Background  Timing  Periodic Review per Ordinance and Resolution Every Five Years  Last Update 2004

Background  History of Road Impact Fee Ordinance  Established  Updated  Updated  Updated  Update Postponed  Update Underway

Background  Road Impact Fee Zones Funds Must be Used in Area Collected Funds Must be Used in Area Collected

Background Zone 1 Zone 2 Zone 3 Zone 4 Revenues by Impact Fee Zone

Background Total Road CIP 5-year = approx. $359 million Average Impact Fee Expenditures Over Next 5 Years ( FY 10/11 - FY14/15) Road expenditures by funding source (Average)

 Background  How Fees are Calculated  Phase 1 Status  Phase 2 Considerations  Closing Transportation Impact Fee Update

How Fees Are Calculated  Growth Related  Major Roads  Actual Costs  Demonstrated Need  Proportional to Impact

How Fees Are Calculated  Fees Calculated for Each Land Use  Trip Generation  New Trips  Trip Length  General Factors  Road Capacity  Costs  Fuel Tax Credit

How Fees Are Calculated

 Background  How Fees are Calculated  Phase 1 Status  Phase 2 Considerations  Closing Transportation Impact Fee Update

Phase 1 Status  Update Existing Rate Table  Trip Generation  Trip Length  Improvement Cost Components  Funding Credit Components  Refine Formula

Phase 1 Status  Are We Overcharging?  Refine formula  Construction costs  Expectation is data will suggest fee increase

 Background  How Fees are Calculated  Phase 1 Status  Phase 2 Considerations  Closing Transportation Impact Fee Update

Phase 2 Considerations  Methodology and Public Policy  Funding various modes of travel  Varying fees by area  Varying fees by land use  Align fee structure with policy goals

Phase 2 Considerations  Funding Various Modes of Travel  Methodology change to person miles of travel  Cost basis for assets  Types of infrastructure  Intersection Improvements  Signal systems  Sidewalks  Bike lanes  Transit shelters

Phase 2 Considerations  Varying Fees by Area  Fee differential based on geographic areas  Technically supported through “Smart Growth Model”  Slow growth areas  Requires use of alternative funding investment

Phase 2 Considerations

 Varying Fees by Land Use  Additional considerations for desired land uses  Shorten trip lengths  Higher trip internalization  Need to ensure predictability, equal protection

Phase 2 Considerations  Align Fee Structure with Policy Goals  Previous approaches  Adopted comprehensive plan focuses on:  Infill and redevelopment  Transit Oriented Development  Mixed-Use Activity Centers  Streamline development review process

Transportation Impact Fee Update  Background  How Fees are Calculated  Phase 1 Status  Phase 2 Considerations  Closing

Closing  Complete Phase 1  Establish baseline  Impacts of key assumptions  August 2011  Move into Phase 2  Methodology and public policy considerations  Burden of proof  Ordinance updates  January 2012

Discussion  Methodology and public policy considerations  Funding various modes of travel  Varying fees by area  Varying fees by land use  Align fee structure with policy goals

How Fees Are Calculated  Two Common Methodologies  Consumption Based  Charges growth to replace capacity consumed  Maintains current levels of service  Improvements Driven  Cost basis to specific plan projects  Need to ensure new growth is not charged for existing deficiencies  Burden of Proof

Background Total Road CIP 5-year = approx. $290 million Average Impact Fee Expenditures Over Next 5 Years ( FY 11/12 - FY15/16) Road expenditures by funding source (Average) Gas Taxes 15.2% I Drive CRA 19.3% Other 22%

Phase 2 Considerations  Outreach  Development Advisory Board (DAB)  Homebuilder Associations  Technical Advisory Group  Citizens
